Used in research as a potent and selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, this compound is valuable in neuroscience for studying psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. It helps in understanding receptor function and signaling pathways involved in mood regulation. Due to its high affinity and stereo-specific configuration, it is also employed in binding assays and receptor occupancy studies. Its structural complexity makes it useful in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for developing new central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics. Not intended for clinical use; primarily a pharmacological tool in laboratory settings.
